take a romp through Semi Tough by Dan Jenkins. one of the funniest and best sports novels ever. The names are priceless and it's "about" the New York Football Giants, winners of 2 of the last 5 Super Bowls.

I could probably come up with a bunch more if I really thought about it, but I was always a fan of Leemire Goldwire

Are we doing All Time name list??? Because Scientific and Majestic Mapp would be starters without a doubt.
